THE HARTFORD COURANT

The Courant

Should Apologize

The Hartford Courant should issue an apology to Bloomfield Mayor Faith McMahon for the use of ageism in its editorial of Oct. 9. Age and energy are not factors in determining the qualifications of a candidate.

McMahon is a candidate you can have faith in. She is a lady of high integrity and energy. She does not engage in campaign rhetoric, large campaign spending or false promises. The citizens of Bloomfield have had faith in her for the past eight years. If only we had 169 Faith McMahons to serve our towns, Connecticut would be a better state for it.

McMahon engages her community in political participation, identifies and solve problems promptly and builds nonpartisan consensus on the Town Council.

McMahon believes in and engages in participatory democracy better than anyone in public service. Her constituents can comfortably believe that she will represent them well in the state legislature.
